With the return of Jarvis Jenkins and Rob Jackson after the bye. What does this mean for the Redskins defense?

Jarvis Jenkins will make a huge difference. He should help free up double teams on Cofield. Also clogging up running lanes and making the blitz more effective. Jenkins was a starter so this is great to get him back.

Rob Jackson isn't the starter but he brings depth at the LB position and can only help. You now could have a defensive package with Rak and Jackson or any other combination of LBs. The more the merrier. Having Jackson available allows more options for Haslett to explore.

Getting back both Jenkins and Jackson could not have happened at a better time for the Skins currently in the bye week.

It's certainly 'time' for something good to happen - the defense needs to get into a better mode that's for sure - getting these guys back can only help

It's that time of the year - RUN THE DAMN BALL - if they figure out how to stop it then find another way to RUN THE DAMN BALL

I'm looking forward to getting these guys back on the defense. We can use the depth and I'd love to see Rob Jackson on the outside for coverage and let Orakpo put his hand in the dirt and get after the QB.

Any update on Tavaris Jackson? I know it's kind of a long shot, but getting him back would certainly be a welcomed addition to the secondary.

not sure what it is but he's just like a bunch of other players and coaches - they need to get back into playing/coaching at the level that they are capable of

I could be wrong Skinsjock, but it could be because he isn't the running threat he was, he can't spread the D like he used to.

Let us face it. When he was in school people feared his run. In the NFL same thing. Until he can burn them with the run he has to do it the old fashioned way. No more getting people to bite for a run if he doesn't.

On to other things. Rob can cover but Rak really can't. Rak can sack, Rob isn't that pressure guy. Jarvis can hold his own. Gold is just a back up.

For a second I thought Dallas had signed Tavaris Jackson as their backup, haha.

God I hope so.

Why on earth would Jackson be starting, period?

Because to a certain section of this fan base, the best players on the team always seem to be the ones who aren't on the field. e.x. If we'd just start Colt Brennan, we would definitely be winning! Cut D-Hall now so Chase Minnifield can save this season!!
